A: A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument which transfers title to real property. It is typically utilized in transactions between family members or if you'd like to transfer your property into a trust. These types of transactions do not have financing. If your property is currently financed, you'd want to advise your mortgagee of the upcoming quitclaim transfer to avoid triggering a due-on clause. Many mortgage companies began to allow transfers that add owners or have trust transfers, with proper notice to them.

A: A quitclaim deed is a deed which transfers any interest one might have in real property "but without offering any guarantee as to the extent of that interest".
